Just so you know, it’s been a long time since I’ve made the time to post here. No excuses, just busy with other things.

Now onto this year’s post ∇

I’ve been playing video games for a while. I’m not into it so much that I’ve got it scheduled into my daily activity, but I’ll pick up a controller once in a while. Back in my day, playing video games started with the arcade craze, and then came the home consoles. I remember those days fondly. But now, the consoles have advanced so far that you get immersed into the games. VR is the latest thing, though still in its infancy, and it’s just going to get bigger.

I’ve been toying with buying a new console. I’ve been a Nintendo guy for decades and find it hard to give up on that world, but the caliber of games coming out for Playstation and XBox consoles are amazing. The new ones even catering to the newer 4K screens. All of that makes my decision so much more difficult. I’ve been reading up on all of the pros and cons that came out of E3 this year and what I read has helped a little, but very little.

I might forgo the switch to a different system and stick with what I know and that is that Nintendo has not disappointed me with entertaining choices. Plus, the Switch is portable. I wouldn’t need to be tied down to a sofa or chair to play it. I could take it anywhere. So I think I’ve made my decision and will be getting a Nintendo Switch this fall, along with some of the new games coming out.

Now only if they would give us some online content or a way to play the old games on the Switch.

So far my patience with people is running ragged. It seems that many don’t understand simple logic or common sense. I feel that we are getting closer and closer to making the film “Idiocracy” a reality.
It would be incredible if someone has already built a huge ship using secret alien technology in space and will select those with common sense to come aboard. I would want to be the first to hop on.
Anyway, with that said, I am looking forward to when I can relax and just do what I want or need to do without trouble. This summer may be such a time. Wish me well. I wish all of you the same.

I just wanted to say that I’ve been really busy with my personal and work life that I haven’t taken the time to keep this blogging thing up to date. I’m hoping, time permitting, that I will be on here more often.

At the moment, I am playing a character named James Lowerby in a Farscape based game. He started out being quite curious and open minded, but has developed into someone who is a bit reserved and cautious, due to what has happened to him. I’ll get into some of the details at a later date.

If you’ve known SWEF in the past 20 years, you will notice it has changed quite a bit from its original inception. SWEF started out as a group of Star Wars role playing games. It is now made up of role playing games of various genres. Some are original creations and some are based on games known to the role playing world. All have been fun to play.

The players haven’t changed much. We have had players come and go, but there are several core players who have been at it for years. I commend them for their die hard love for the games and their resilience to continue playing them.

I have been toying with returning to the Game Master spot once again. Sort of like coming out of retirement. I have often ran Star Wars based games, and a few that were original creations. I’m thinking of doing another original creation, but have yet to drum out the details for it. Maybe I’ll work on that when I get some spare time. Ideas come easy for me, so the hard part is getting the players to play the game. It always boils down to keeping their interest and how their schedules change in real life.

For now, I’ll be playing out my current character in one of Grey’s games. I love playing something I am not. I’ll play alien creatures, women, little girls, dwarves, whatever it takes to make the game interesting. My current character is a teenage girl. She originated on another planet, but does not remember any of that. She has the power to transform into anything that she desires. The easiest being living creatures. At the moment, I think she is in a rut. I’m feeling the need to throw in a twist to get her back on the road to excitement. Perhaps have some sort of memory of her past creep into her life, causing her confusion and maybe interfere with her powers. Just an idea.

OK, that’s enough for now. Maybe I’ll have more to add soon. Until then, be happy and healthy.

OK, I saw that a few people have registered to this thing and figured I should give them a voice.

Please don’t SPAM this site. I know it’s not very active, but I’d still like to keep it clean.
I look forward to reading what you have to say.
Thank you.
